Changing the 3D UCS View

How do I change the orientation of the UCS or whatever its called here in
Inventor6 I am still used to calling it the UCS Symbol in AutoCAD LT 98. Yes
that was quite a jump! Anyway!.... I need a clue.
Thanks
Jerry

Basically, you don't... there is no UCS in Inventor. What are you trying to
accomplish?

I guess I don't quite understand how to handle the
views in the model space and the paper space alike. I have created an assembly
and made an idw of a part from the assembly. now for some reason the default
isometric view has changed in the model space which has skewed my views in the
paperspace.

I know the red green and blue arrows are X,Y and Z.
and the model has rotated from the original XY orientation I just need to re
orient the whole assembly so when I look at the front of the model its the front
not a modified skewed isometric view of the front and side.

clear as mud right?

When you drew the part did you model it on one of
the basic XY, YZ, ZX planes?  If so then when you place the views in the
IDW you can choose, front, rear, left, right etc and it will be normal to the
plane of the paper.  Maybe you just inserted the default view which was not
a plane view (maybe current or an isometric view) ???

Try ungrounding the grounded part and use flush constraints between the origin planes in that part
and the assembly origin planes. You may need angular constraints, I don't know as I can't see your
model.

Yessiree, that's all I had to do thanks John and Dennis.
